Drug Abuse
Introduction
Drug abuse is of legal and illegal drugs for the wrong purpose. Various factors are noted to cause substance abuse. Some of these factors include genetic predisposition, drug use experimentation, concurring conditions and the environment (Benito, Ballesteros, Callado & Meana, 2014). Drugs can consist of a variety of substances. Some are legal although most are not. Abusing legal or illegal drugs is harmful to the human body and leads to physical, mental, psychological, or social harm to an individual or group. Some individuals use the excuse of using drugs because they are depressed, stressed, in pain or any other reason the person can create to excuse his behavior and drug abuse (Brick & Erickson, 2013). The world today does not realize that most people are all habitual drug users because they are continually ingesting nicotine, ethanol, and caffeine. Even simple medicines can be counted.
There are different groups of drugs; Soft drugs that include tranquilizers, sedatives, cannabis, amphetamines, alcohol, and tobacco. The hard drugs are the ones to worry most about these are harmful to the body, and they include heroin, cocaine (opium), ecstasy, crack and several others. With the use of the hard drugs, it can lead to criminal activities, murder, sicknesses, and diseases. Research revealed that in 2011, 2.5 million emergency visits were resulting from drug abuse in the United States alone (Sipp, 2017). Besides, only 11 percent of those who are addicted received medical care. The remaining population of 89 percent is too vast to be without rehabilitation as they may result in more severe cases in future. According to Sipp (2017), the number of patients who are affected either directly or indirectly is growing. Therefore it’s essential to increase the rehabilitation centers at a higher rate so that the effects of drug abuse can be reduced through prevention than treatment.
Addiction
Poor relationships with parents also contribute to substance abuse. Peers and friends who are drug users influence other who becomes vulnerable to indulge in the behavior. Others enter into drug abuse to compensate for their in achievements such as failure to excel in education and other fields (Buccelli, Della, Paternoster, Niola, & Pieri, 2016).
Continuous use of drugs leads to addiction (Longo, Wilson, Christopher & Grant, 2016). However the frequency of abuse that causes addition if different in different people. Some people react fast with the drugs hence developing a constant craving for them even after short periods of use. On the other hand, some individuals may use the drugs for a relatively long time before becoming an addict. Apart from addiction, drug abuse can lead to various criminal activities such as juvenile sex offenses, violence, and robbery a ...

ADDITION AFFECTING OVERALL DEVELOPMENT: Annotated Bibliography
Addiction is something that a lot of people deal with. Addition in all its entirety is whether substance and drug abuse related addiction or behavioral related addiction, plays a very crucial role in impending development. Here development entails personal life development, society development or the national development of a country. Thus it is the priority of every person, society, government and organizations to try and curb this menace.
The understanding of addiction (its nature, its causes, and its effects) is the only rational way of controlling its demise. There have been numerous studies, researches and experiments conducted to try and understand the basis underlying addiction. The following is a list of the various articles on this endeavor.

Terry and Kent review the theoretical explanations of how the transition from casual to compulsive drug use happens. They focus on how the use of drugs causes changes to the psychological function of a person leading to addiction. According to them the pleasure from the use of a given drug doesn’t lead to addiction which contrasts the hedonic views of addiction. Another common theory they rule out on transition to addiction is relief from withdrawal symptoms. Aberrant theory is also ruled out in that abnormalities of associate learning do not lead to addiction. They suggest that addiction is brought about by an abnormal generation of incentive salience by the neural system leading to cognitive deficits. Thus according to them addiction starts from the brain itself.

In this article Bodigger studies drug use in the Central American region. According to him the rate of drug abuse among school attending children is on the rise. This, he blames to the high availability of drugs in the streets, high use of drugs by adults in the society, traffickers investing more in the trade than the government is investing against the trade, use of children for trafficking and the early age of exposure of children to these drugs. Children have also been identified to indulge in drugs to escape emotional and physical abuse by family members or step-parents. Some of the measures that has been put up to control the epidemic are; creating of rehabilitation programs for street children, treating the addicts by detoxification, governments investing more on the fight of drug trafficking etc. Elsavador is the leading country in the fight of drugs in the region. According to him the fight against drug use in the region is expensive and governments need to work together to conquer it.

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.
